Chapter 457 Good News
Chu Lingxuan may have been frightened by his wife's last birth. Every time he looked at his wife, the first thing he saw was not her face, but her belly. When Chen Afu walked up to him, he smiled and said, "Your belly is okay, not as big as before."
In fact, Chen Afu's belly was already big compared to other pregnant women. But compared to her belly when she was pregnant with the two little brothers, it was much smaller. Chu Lingxuan had never paid attention to other pregnant women's bellies, so he thought Chen Afu's belly was not big now. The smaller the child, the easier it would be to give birth.
Chen Afu saw the smile in Chu Lingxuan's eyes and joked, "You are so happy, is there any good news?"
Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "There is really good news. The Ninth Prince has a brother and a sister."
This is really good news. Last month, the Ninth Prince's wife gave birth to a son. Now the Ninth Prince has two sons and a daughter. Dabao is safer.
Chu Lingxuan smiled again, "Also, my third uncle, my eldest uncle, and my sister have sent me a letter. My sister and my fourth cousin will come here around the tenth day, and my eldest uncle will come at the end of September. Maybe my father will come too." He looked at the two brothers proudly and said, "The sons have more face than their fathers."
Chen Afu guessed that Chu Hua and Mr. Luo Si and his wife would come. But she didn't expect that such heavyweights as Lord Chu and Luo Xunfu would also come.
She smiled and said, "Well, it's really a great honor to invite my father-in-law and my eldest uncle."
Chu Lingxuan said again, "Don't tell anyone that my father is coming, especially not to my mother."
During the meal, Chu Lingxuan told the old marquis that he would go to Yingxue Temple early tomorrow morning to persuade Lechen to come to Jingtang Temple for practice, and temporarily stay in Luojiazhuang for more than a month. Then he would bring the letters written by Chu Hua and Luo Xunfu to her, and they would definitely persuade Lechen.
The old marquis said, "I will also write her a letter, you take it with you. Alas, it is your father who betrayed her, let her think more positively."
Chu Lingxuan asked Chen Afu to take the children to Luojiazhuang on the 6th. He would take Luochen to live in Luojiazhuang that day. This time it was considered a move, and they had to prepare for two days.
Early in the morning of the 6th, Chen Afu took Chu Hanyan, Chu Lingzhi, Chen Dabao, and the two brothers to Luojiazhuang. A Lu wanted to study hard at home. Mr. Liao asked him to take the exam next spring, and said that it would not be difficult for him to pass the exam to become a scholar, mainly depending on the ranking.
Mr. Liao's words not only made A Lu work harder, but also made Chen Ming happy. You know, the entire Xiangluo Village has not produced a scholar yet.
The sedan chair that Chen Afu sat in and the carriages that others sat in took about an hour, and they arrived at Luojiazhuang at the east end of Jitou Village in the suburbs.
It is only more than 200 meters away from Jinghua Mountain and more than 100 meters away from the village. Even in autumn, it is densely shaded and extremely cool. Looking up the mountain, it was colorful, with red, yellow and green colors.
Luo Fang led his wife and several servants to greet them at the village gate.
Luo Fang's wife also pointed to the entrance of the village to Chen Afu, and smiled softly, "Grandma, the second courtyard on the right is the home of Old Lady Zhao. I often see the old lady basking in the sun in the courtyard when I pass by there on my way to the village to do business. The villagers don't know her true identity and think she is a widow without children. Some women who like to take advantage of others have gone to her house to steal things, and some troublemakers have thrown dirt and stones at her house for no reason. Later, she was taught a lesson, and then she realized that she might not be as helpless as she said on the surface, so no one dared to go to her house to cause trouble..."
It was a little far away and it was a little unclear. I could only vaguely see a small courtyard with blue bricks and tiles and a few big trees outside. This kind of courtyard is considered the best in the countryside, but it must be vulgar for Old Lady Zhao, who is used to living in a gorgeous courtyard. The old woman had been scheming and chasing for wealth and glory all her life, but in the end she still lived in this farmyard.
Chen Afu smiled and led the children into the gate.
Luojiazhuang is a typical three-courtyard house, with beautiful trees and bamboos planted inside, and many pots of chrysanthemums in full bloom.
Chen Afu went to see Lechen's room first. Lechen liked quietness, so she was arranged to live in the backyard back room. The east room is the bedroom, and the east ear room is the small Buddhist hall. The furnishings and bedding are both simple and exquisite, and the house is also filled with the pleasant smell of sandalwood, which is the style Lechen likes.
The west ear room of the upper house is for the two little nuns who serve Lechen. When guests come in the future, Chu Hua will lead Heng Ge'er to live in the east wing, and Luo Si Nainai will lead her daughter to live in the west wing. The male guests will live in the outer courtyard.
Chen Afu and Chu Lingxuan temporarily live in the east room of the upper house in the main courtyard, the little girl Chu lives in the west room, Dabao and Chu Lingzhi live in the east wing, and the two brothers live in the west wing.
After a tour, Chen Afu nodded to show his satisfaction that everything was done very well.
When the last glow of the sunset faded and night was about to fall, Chu Lingxuan and Lechen finally arrived.
Chen Afu led a few children to greet them at the door of the hanging flower. After the greeting, Chu Hanyan came forward and hugged Lechen, saying very proudly, "Grandma, my brothers can walk now."
Lechen looked at the two little brothers in their mother's arms and said in surprise, "So fast?"
The two little brothers also knew that their sister was showing off, so they got off the ground and were led by their mothers to Lechen. Each of them hugged one leg and looked up at Lechen and smiled. With a grin, a string of saliva flowed out, making Lechen's eyes red with joy and her heart trembling again and again.
She said happily, "Good grandsons, it's been so long, it's hard for you to still remember grandma."
Chen Afu was secretly happy, how could the two brothers still remember her. Chen Afu had to talk about grandma in front of them many times almost every day. Today he was teaching them how to coax grandma well. They please their grandma not by remembering her as a person, but by remembering the word "grandma".
However, the two brothers are really good at pleasing people. They made grandma so happy when they met.
After the vegetarian banquet, everyone made trouble for her in Luo Chen's living room for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Before dawn the next day, Chu Lingxuan hurried back to Dingzhou Mansion to go to the Yamen. Chen Afu waited for the children to wake up, and after eating, he took them to the backyard to say hello to Chen.
Liao Chen was chanting sutras in the small Buddhist hall. They waited in the hall for a while before Liao Chen came out.
After talking to her for a while, Chu Lingzhi and Dabao couldn't sit still. Liochen smiled and said, "The two little monkeys are detained here by me. Let's go play." Then he said to Chen Afu, "Afu, go and do your work too. Just let Yan'er and Shuangshuang accompany me."
Liao Chen likes to call the two brothers "Shuang Shuang" collectively.
Chen Afu returned to the main courtyard and heard some reports from Manager Luo and Aunt Luo on the moving situation. Now Liao Chen lives here, and in the future Guanshi Luo and his family will also live here and serve. Not only many things from Yingxue'an will be moved here, but also important things from Tangyuan will be moved here...
Dear friends, because Qingquan doesn't dare to look at the computer for a long time recently, he just "listens to stories" when he has nothing to do, and also listened to what Qingquan wrote before, "Those who dislike husbands develop virtuous people." Only then did Qingquan realize that this story was so interesting and really enjoyable to listen to, but it was just that it was concluded early due to some special reasons at the time. Dear friends, don’t stop reading this article just because it’s a bit short, it’s really good. Also, two chapters in the article have been blocked, and one of them contains the word "climax". In fact, this climax is not that climax, and there is no pornographic content in this chapter. There is also the last chapter. I don’t know why, Qingquan has paid great attention to it in writing. After Qingquan feels better, he will contact the editor-in-chief. Qingquan was thinking, after finishing this article, whether he should write an article related to "dislike the husband" to make up for his regrets. . .
